I think matches currently have a sort of 'epic' quality to them, which is good-

I think shortening the quarters would diminish this. It also would affect training greatly unless training minute requirements were also changed.

So I think the current quarter length is good.

I'd like to keep it at 12 min quarters.

My question isnt revolving around whether people like it or not but instead why we would need to change it? Why dont you like the 12 minute quarters?

I'm guessing he is asking the question as international rules is 10 minutes these days. So pretty much all the major leagues throughout the world, except the NBA, play 10 minute quarters.

Personally I hate the 10 minute quarters in real life, makes the game too short.

No, I have no problem with the current quarters, I just wanted to see what people thought, since so many pro leagues have 10 minute quarters! Maybe there are people who would like 10 minute quarters.

I like the 12 minute quarters. Plus, that'd be less minute opportunities for training. I suppose 40 minutes could become the new 48.

The only reason to actually consider using 10-minute quarters would be to make results less predictable. The shorter the game and the fewer possessions, the more likely the worse team is to pull an upset.

Game shape and training would have to be recoded for fewer minutes, obviously.

I don't have a preference, but I also don't see a reason to change.
